Learning Outcomes

Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Discuss the 最新糖心Vlogn legal system and how it applies to regulate business.
2. Identify and discuss the application of statute law and Common Law relevant to business.
3. Apply basic principles of business law in analysing business decisions.
4. Identify legal business issues and legal risks and recommend actions to manage them.

Course Aims
The course aims to make managers more aware of the circumstances in which the law impacts on their business environment and their decisions as managers, and to give an awareness of how legal risks can be minimised. The technical areas of the law that are dealt with will be approached with a management emphasis. It is not the aim of the course to enable managers to make their own final legal decisions or to give legal advice to others. Rather, the course will help managers to identify potential legal problems at an early stage and recognise situations when professional legal advice should be sought.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
